this is the primal scream of a dying regime pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on
00:00:10.840
these people here's not got a free shot all these networks lying about the people the people have
00:00:17.440
had a belly full of it i know you don't like hearing that i know you try to do everything
00:00:21.200
the world to stop that but you're not going to stop it it's going to happen and where do people
00:00:24.780
like that go to share the big line mega media i wish in my soul i wish that any of these people
00:00:32.600
had a conscience ask yourself what is my task and what is my purpose if that answer is to save my
00:00:40.540
country this country will be saved war room here's your host stephen k bannett
00:00:47.860
uh let's start right there as you from your vantage point in paris as you're watching what's
00:00:58.440
happening uh in spain uh what is your level of concern uh to your about what's happening with
00:01:04.100
your neighbor thank you very much and thank you very much for your invitation this morning
00:01:08.800
and of course we are watching closely what is happening in spain it is partly what we see in a
00:01:14.620
lot of western democracies which with more difficult coalitions home parliament sometimes we can
00:01:19.860
see it in a lot of parliamentary democracies across the eu across europe what is interesting i
00:01:25.460
think is that it was expected that far right would be extremely high actually the far right party lost
00:01:30.840
grounds which proves that when we fight on european issues pro-europe agenda pro-reform agenda
00:01:38.260
pro-democracy and western values agenda as pedro sanchez and the main right-wing party did
00:01:44.280
they can be first and now there are discussions on the coalition that will probably take some weeks
00:01:50.560
but i think it's also a positive signal that far right is not on the rise which cannot be stopped
00:01:56.660
in european democracies and european countries tell us what you're seeing around you and what we should
00:02:02.960
expect today well jonathan as you can see we are seeing thousands of israeli protesters braving the
00:02:11.300
summer heat gathering in front of the israeli parliament in a last-ditch effort to try to stop
00:02:17.420
this legislation earlier on today we saw them blocking roads israeli police using water cannon
00:02:24.000
to try to dislodge them a number of arrests were made but jonathan this is really the last roll of
00:02:31.880
the dice for this protest movement that has been so sustained for seven months leading to what many
00:02:38.160
think is the biggest political crisis in israel's history few people alive today can remember a
00:02:44.820
moment when this country was as divided as it is right now prime minister benjamin netanyahu if he
00:02:51.400
were here would tell you that this legislation is necessary to curb the powers of the unelected supreme
00:02:58.460
court and restore the supremacy of the israeli parliament but many of these demonstrators will say
00:03:04.700
they genuinely believe that if the legislation today goes through it is the beginning of the end
00:03:10.500
of israeli democracy and it is not just the people on the streets who are afraid of that
00:03:15.080
big business today announcing that 150 of israel's largest companies are closing their doors these are
00:03:23.300
shopping malls these are major stores in protest at these legislation and jonathan there is a real danger
00:03:30.640
that what started as a political crisis may turn into a security crisis over the weekends thousands
00:03:36.840
of israeli military reservists have said they will stop showing up for duty if this legislation goes
00:03:43.900
through and this is having a particular impact on the israeli air force in some squadrons in the air
00:03:50.160
force half of the pilots are reservists as opposed to regular duty and if those reservists don't show up
00:03:57.460
it is not clear that the israeli air force can continue to function at full strength we caught
00:04:03.240
up yesterday with guy pull on he is a one of the protest leaders here he's also a former fighter pilot
00:04:09.820
and he explains why these pilots who have dedicated their lives to defending this country have taken
00:04:15.780
this drastic step take a listen to what he had to say we're not going to continue to risk our lives
00:04:23.140
going to serve in an air force of a country that is not democratic it's as simple as that israeli
00:04:29.680
democracy will not be the same and if this means confrontation with our brothers in israel who think
00:04:37.080
differently then we're sorry but this is what it's going to be you're either for this kind of legislation
00:04:44.360
or you're fighting against it and this is something that has never happened in 75 years of existence of
00:04:51.260
israel and frankly it's frightening it has been determined that the supreme court will interpret
00:05:00.380
the constitution they want what's called popular constitutional right which is we the people
00:05:04.660
interpret the constitution i don't really know i mean we all get a chance to interpret it as we see fit
00:05:09.100
right but it comes down to who wins the presidency who appoints justices and it all comes back to
00:05:14.080
that was donald trump right his legacy is still there at the supreme court they want to control
00:05:19.140
everything they they don't control the house you see how powerful that's been for house republicans
00:05:23.080
and they don't control the supreme court and that's a big problem for them i i understand these uh two
00:05:27.880
authors they have uh worked five years to to expand the supreme court uh and oh they want to
00:05:34.380
they want to right exactly and when brett kavanaugh after he was uh confirmed they took part in
00:05:40.000
something called the 120 21 project uh about expanding federal courts packing federal courts with liberal
00:05:48.100
judges and it's a harvard professor so you too can send your kid for a hundred grand to go become
00:05:52.140
an idiot at harvard didn't you go to harvard yeah that's why i'm an idiot
00:05:55.960
monday 24 july the year of our lord 2023 a lot going on in the world today and it ties back and is
00:06:05.740
inextricably linked to maga and this populist movement in the election of 2024
00:06:11.240
um we have spain where the uh where the center center right party and the right-wing maga party
00:06:20.220
of vox uh came very close they'll put together a government but not uh didn't get the majority they
00:06:26.760
hoped for thwarted by the administrative state all of the bureaucrats every everybody in the
00:06:33.620
spanish bureaucracy that has destroyed spain and allowed this invasion uh from north africa to occur
00:06:40.660
uh thwarted uh the movement over there they're very close to putting together a majority but
00:06:46.640
thwarted it get ready for that in 2024 in addition in israel i would argue caroline glick's going to be
00:06:53.800
here in a while we get ben harnwell in rome i would argue that there is a um a left-wing uh military coup
00:07:00.380
led by ehud barak and others uh military coup to thwart uh changes in the constitution there of course
00:07:08.380
all of it i guess they don't have a constitution but change the law over there about the courts
00:07:11.920
of course everything is the war against democracy that you're going to hear it's all the war against
00:07:17.020
democracy in fact you are the domestic terrorists that are against democracy um it's not about them
00:07:22.740
rigging elections and not about them rigging uh judicial systems and then you heard of that this uh
00:07:29.060
the radical court packing ideas whether the supreme court uh court packing at the federal courts
00:07:35.520
all of it about a popular constitutionalism where it can be interpreted by the will of the people by
00:07:40.680
democracy you're seeing it all right there it all ties back to 2024 and president trump and of course a
00:07:48.420
huge article in the washington post we'll get to later that biden's not even running a campaign he's
00:07:52.540
kind of in the white house dr jill biden or up in delaware most of the time she's giving him mash peas
00:07:58.120
and um and peaches with the bib on but they've raised to their whole campaign's gonna be by
00:08:04.400
outside groups there's these dark money groups much of the money coming from foreigners um that is
00:08:11.640
raised two billion dollars and at every state at the state level and throughout the nation that's
00:08:17.020
where they're going to run the campaign they've kind of they've kind of um outsourced it to these
00:08:21.000
outside groups but it's a global fight of the populist nationalists versus uh the globalist
00:08:27.780
and i want to bring in ben harnwell first ben we've got uh spain israel and ukraine i'd ask you
00:08:34.560
stick around too we got caroline glick is going to join us to explain the israel uh situation um walk
00:08:40.560
me through first of your thoughts on on spain we thought we're going to get a resounding victory
00:08:44.600
we didn't quite get together we have a victory but they still got to put together a coalition
00:08:49.280
government on the right uh ben harnwell good morning steve we're looking at spain the interesting
00:08:56.640
result here and this isn't one that i've seen the mainstream media picking up on but really i think
00:09:01.820
the key takeaway here is there's been a centripetal force in and amongst the electorate pushing the uh
00:09:09.460
the the vote towards the four central largest parties that is the two centrist parties the center left
00:09:17.480
and the center right but then also what's called the far right and the far left uh which which are
00:09:23.940
in neither case worthy of the name um and that's what we've really seen to the expense of the the
00:09:30.780
the the huge plethora of quite smaller parties in fact steve in fact if you take the the the center
00:09:37.540
right and vox together their vote and i'm talking about share of the vote here i'm not talking about
00:09:42.780
seats share of the vote increased from 2019 with 35.9 percent all the way up to 45.5 percent
00:09:53.160
and yesterday the socialists and the hard left they've also seen any increases what i'm saying
00:09:59.540
about the at the expense of all the smaller parties their share of the vote went from 40.9
00:10:05.420
to 44.0 so it's really a concentration around these two polls everyone is saying that the result of
00:10:13.840
vox was disappointing uh and obviously that they've lost about 50 percent of their parliamentary
00:10:19.780
representation but looking at the actual turnout they got 15.1 percent in 2019 and 12.4 this time
00:10:29.560
so their overall share of the vote fell really by 2.7 percent which is which is just disappointing
00:10:37.940
from a certain uh prospect but it's not the absolute meltdown that the parliamentary arithmetic might
00:10:45.320
suggest yeah but this is uh the the key point for people here in the united states this is a populist
00:10:53.820
nationalist versus globalist the socialist party and its uh offshoots are just nothing more than the
00:10:59.440
democrats over here they're open borders they control the entire bureaucracy that's why they
00:11:05.560
came in hard at the end right about and they control the voting mechanisms the voting apparatus
00:11:10.960
um that the the center right and the right will get a chance to put together government correct
00:11:16.800
the and they are remember vox is much vox is like maga when it comes to when it comes to um
00:11:24.020
it comes to immigration it comes to the invasion of the country and also the cultural issues
00:11:29.160
transgenderism the grooming the lgbtq agenda all of it they will you think in the next day or two
00:11:37.260
they'll get the chance to put together a government i don't know steven i will never underestimate the
00:11:43.960
ability of the establishment to protect itself when it comes to the apportionment of power i'm not
00:11:49.480
ruling out the possibility that the that the socialist prime minister sanchez even though he hasn't come in
00:11:56.220
with with the largest party um i wouldn't put it past him and the powers that govern spain to succeed in
00:12:04.720
keeping him in power at least until uh a subsequent election don't forget in 2015 and in 2019 spain was
00:12:15.160
obliged to have double general elections in each year because it hadn't been able to provide a parliamentary
00:12:20.920
majority majority with the stable government that is the most likely out outcome in spain this time
00:12:27.160
around but who takes the crown as it were is uh the current debate i you know i i wouldn't rule out
00:12:34.580
the the socialists keeping their hands on it for the time being give me give me your assessment before
00:12:40.900
we go to break around caroline glick in the next segment give me your take on what's happening in
00:12:45.720
israel this morning oh steve just to come back to yes i will just to come back to spain that you
00:12:52.520
liken vox to mago and that is the the best analogy there is that with one important difference vox is
00:12:58.500
very good um on on the pro-family anti-woke agenda but it is um thoroughly in the ukraine camp rather than
00:13:08.660
um and taking a position of studied neutrality for example the the the policy pushed by uh victor
00:13:16.960
orban and that might also have been uh uh uh one of the uh reasons for vox's um disappointing resort
00:13:26.720
yesterday with regards to israel um i'm going to make a suggestion here
00:13:31.840
what we've been talking about sort of i i think since i've been on this show for the last two
00:13:38.540
years it's really the defense of the judeo-christian west and we've been applying that paradigm really
00:13:45.700
to the christian parts of the judeo-christian west the the the the countries with the christian
00:13:51.860
heritage i would suggest that this is really the same thing that we're actually seeing in israel now
00:13:57.300
obviously however with the emphasis on the judeo part of the judeo-christian tradition um there are
00:14:03.720
a number of different um um vantage points that one can see what's going on you mentioned the
00:14:10.480
possibility that that former prime minister ehud barak is leading a military coup
00:14:15.900
in addition to that not in conflict with that but in addition to that and i would also suggest this is
00:14:23.100
really the last gasp of a secular um culturally jewish but not religiously jewish elite trying to hold on
00:14:34.800
to the power that they've had via the by the supreme court i did wait i'll finish my point after the
00:14:41.260
after the adversity yeah hang on short commercial break we're gonna return in the war we've got a lot
00:14:47.620
to go through politics capital markets the economy culture all of it on a monday in july
00:14:54.580
well congress once again allowed itself to be pushed into appeasing the administration and raising the
00:15:04.640
debt ceiling for the 79th time paving the way for continued reckless spending and further devaluation

00:17:03.840
money uh i want to bring in now an old friend and colleague caroline glick uh who knows israel i think
00:17:11.780
better than anybody caroline can you just walk this because this is a very underreported story we've
00:17:17.880
talked about it briefly over the last couple of weeks or a couple of months just first off walk us
00:17:23.380
through exactly what's going on in israel and then we can talk about what i say is a
00:17:28.440
a left-wing military coup uh and i'm trying to draw analogies between what happened in spain yesterday
00:17:33.920
and what's happening in israel right now and the fox folks talking about this popular constitutionalism
00:17:39.240
where they're trying to throw out trump judges is all part uh inextricably linked to what's going on
00:17:44.520
here in america caroline glick the floor is yours ma'am thanks so much for having me on your program
00:17:50.880
um and by the way people can also uh get more information on my website caroline glick.com and
00:17:56.580
from my uh podcast uh the caroline glick show um which is on rumble and youtube and all the podcast
00:18:04.600
channels um but i was just going to say um when you look at israel and the united states there are a lot
00:18:12.400
of similarities um and i'm just gonna pull out a few i think that the best way to look at what's
00:18:17.660
happening is from the vantage point that um angelo codavilla uh laid out in his book the ruling class
00:18:26.080
um and in israel uh our ruling class is more powerful and less concerned about um being modest
00:18:37.620
about their power i would say than you have in other countries where people try to be a little bit
00:18:42.500
more circumspect um and in israel the the ruling classes it lost the majority their electoral majority
00:18:50.060
in the country already uh in the mid-1970s and uh that led to the likud's first rise to power in
00:18:57.840
1977 29 years after israel was formally established in 1948 and since then this class has really
00:19:05.620
continued to control policy on a on on a sometimes on quite a granular level because granular level
00:19:15.100
because uh all of the senior positions in the permanent state of israel are controlled by them
00:19:22.060
and over time as their grip on political power became um
00:19:29.300
more and more impossible to see that they would actually win stable majority coalitions uh be able
00:19:37.340
to uh form a government without right-wing elements or most recently uh anti-israel era political parties
00:19:44.980
that side with israel's enemies um they have expanded through uh fiat um the powers of the permanent
00:19:54.960
state and the institution that's been carrying out most of the absconding of the powers of israel's
00:20:02.160
elected leaders in our parliament the knesset and in our government um is the supreme court of israel
00:20:09.020
beginning already in the early 1990s some would say in the mid-1980s israel's supreme court began
00:20:16.140
seizing more and more of the powers of the executive of the government and of the knesset they seized for
00:20:22.980
themselves the justices the right that appears nowhere in israeli law to cancel to abrogate duly
00:20:29.540
uh legislated laws by the knesset and also uh duly promulgated policies of the government
00:20:35.880
um and they've done this gradually over time over time they've seized control as well as the of the
00:20:42.000
attorney general's office of state prosecution so they've managed to wield uh supreme power essentially
00:20:50.020
over everything in israel through judicial and later uh bureaucratic fiat um and this has really
00:20:58.940
it was something that happened kind of behind the scenes israelis weren't aware of it they weren't
00:21:04.020
focused on this they seized the power to abrogate laws for instance the week that yitzhak robin was
00:21:09.180
assassinated in 1995 so that everybody's head was uh you know directed in a completely different
00:21:15.340
direction when this happened and um and so they've done this over time and as time has passed more
00:21:24.440
and more israelis from all of these different groups have been harmed by the situation so initially
00:21:31.200
uh there was no public cognizance of what was happening as it was happening and then suddenly you
00:21:37.320
had distinct groups of israelis uh ultra-orthodox jews um religious zionists uh who lived there in
00:21:45.700
in uh israeli communities beyond the uh 1949 armistice lines what are usually derogated as settlements
00:21:53.080
uh in judea and samaria and uh and uh unified jerusalem uh they started being harmed by this because
00:22:00.980
the people who are wielding this power aren't simply apparatchiks who are interested in holding power
00:22:06.620
for power for power's sake but increasingly particularly over the past generations they become
00:22:11.160
hardened anti-religious um anti-nationalist um globalist radicals in sort of your parlance
00:22:21.920
uh who don't believe in a jewish national uh home a nation state of the jewish people uh and whose
00:22:30.320
um and whose uh sort of social milieu is has more affinity to the democrats in the united states the
00:22:40.060
progressives in the united states to the europeans uh in brussels etc so they've been using the power
00:22:47.700
that they've unlawfully seized and and and over all of this period uh through a lot of different things
00:22:55.560
um a block of israelis was formed um of of uh parties that represent groups inside of israel whose
00:23:07.220
rights have been uh harmed by uh the permanent state operating at the leadership of the supreme court
00:23:15.820
and so i've been writing about this issue for over 20 years um and initially i was the only person
00:23:22.860
writing about it in the israeli media and then you know over time more and more and more israelis
00:23:29.740
became cognizant of the problem and even think tanks were formed to deal with it and finally in the
00:23:36.540
last elections that we had on november 1st for the first time we got an absolute majority in the
00:23:43.440
knesset our knesset has 120 members and we got a 64 seat governing majority uh comprised of likud our
00:23:51.560
governing party and another um four uh minor parties that were all to the man and woman committed to
00:24:01.200
judicial reform to placing limits on judicial power and the package that was initially put forward by
00:24:08.240
the justice minister of israel in january is an extremely limited package but the main principle at
00:24:15.160
its core is that there have to be limits on the power of the supreme court there have to be that
00:24:21.840
whatever they are they have to exist they cannot have unlimited power and this uh position which was
00:24:30.060
known i mean everybody ran on this platform together as a block um the the left responded by setting the
00:24:37.420
country on fire and so you have you know you you have wildcat strikes that are illegals you have our
00:24:44.920
economic elite saying that we're going to have capital flight which we don't have that israel's
00:24:49.840
economy is going to be destroyed you had high-tech uh companies um moguls that were compelling their
00:24:56.540
employees to go out into the street and oppose judicial reform and you know when we're having in the
00:25:04.060
middle of a high-tech crisis globally people are afraid for their jobs and so they have to participate
00:25:09.040
in these things you have bankers saying that they're going to uh that that they're going to lose all this
00:25:15.780
money and that the israeli banking sector is not going to be viable so that it started there and then it
00:25:21.000
moved as you mentioned into the army where um actually in an earlier segment you had this pilot uh speaking
00:25:28.520
to a reporter and that pilot himself is one of the most radical people in israel he's been uh acting as
00:25:38.140
a political activist he has not been a fighter pilot in decades but he used his past operations in the
00:25:44.680
army to present abroad both in french and in english in the media this completely false rendition of
00:25:52.360
events and and uh ginning up this concept which is really just a political or psychological warfare
00:25:58.560
operation against the israeli public and against the israeli media thinking that there's some sort
00:26:03.320
of a critical mass of fighter pilots in the iaf that won't fly missions and this also has been shown to
00:26:08.920
be untrue but it's all part of the same concept of okay you actually won a true governing majority
00:26:15.800
to enact the reforms that over the past decades has been building up and now you want to seize the
00:26:24.160
power that we've seized for ourselves since we lost the majority in israel and you're trying to take away
00:26:31.080
our retention of governing control through the organs of state against the majority of israelis
00:26:38.720
the israel we've got to go to break caroline but i would i really need you to stay on because this is
00:26:45.480
quite uh this is a good uh overview for our audience um thank you this is when you say that
00:26:54.260
when you say the permanent state uh and you say what angelo cortovella had won against the ruling
00:26:59.460
class we say the permanent state this is equivalent of what we call the administrative state or the rogue
00:27:04.180
element here the deep state this is really conservative parties nationalist parties coming together
00:27:09.420
and say overall we've got to reform the supreme court because the supreme court is essentially
00:27:14.420
bonded with the administrative state is is that we've got about 30 seconds is that correct yes
00:27:19.380
that's that's exactly right i mean it's not that it's bonded it's leading it it's their protector
00:27:26.300
caroline why don't you hang over one second i have caroline glick uh an expert in the situation in israel

here's your host steven k band okay welcome back it's a lot there's a lot going on we're trying
00:29:51.660
to connect a lot of dots here um caroline glick here's what you can help me with uh and with that
00:29:59.640
hopefully the audience um i thought that the founders of israel mainly were of jews of european
00:30:09.040
descent and that these people were super patriots and very nationalist almost ultra nationalists
00:30:15.480
in forming the state of israel and when you talk about the ruling class you're saying they've they
00:30:19.540
they now they control the permanent state but they're clinging to power are they now the secular
00:30:24.580
folks are they not the same nationalist that form the state of israel so there are two things here
00:30:32.960
um one is sociological and the other one is ideological um and um from a sociological
00:30:39.500
perspective um there i mean i'm writing a book about it so it's it's it's all it's all there are a lot
00:30:46.840
of things here to untangle but one of them is that ben-gurion you bet david ben-gurion israel's first
00:30:51.780
prime minister uh to be sure i mean zionism is is jewish nationalism and uh what guided these people
00:30:59.180
very very very clearly along decades and decades both before the establishment of israel and then
00:31:05.140
afterwards was uh um absolute devotion to uh the establishment the reconstitution of the jewish
00:31:13.320
commonwealth in the land of israel after 2 000 years of dispersion um they were secular uh they many of
00:31:21.460
them were were were were extremely anti-religious as well um but they were pro-jewish and over time
00:31:31.860
uh for a lot of reasons israel is a small country we started receiving an enormous amount of israeli
00:31:38.540
of american military assistance in the 1970s uh before that we received uh we we purchased our military
00:31:46.200
uh platforms from france and germany and so um you know you had a lot more american is americanization
00:31:54.300
of the israeli military which sort of separated a layer of israel's military leadership from the
00:32:01.840
mothership and attached them more to the pentagon so that was one aspect of it and another aspect of it
00:32:08.400
is that beginning in 1993 i was actually serving in the idf at the time um and uh i saw it
00:32:16.180
um the negotiations with the plo which began uh in 1993 uh also had a radicalizing effect on the
00:32:26.880
general staff i was a member of israel's negotiating team with the palestinians and i and i saw it and
00:32:32.520
that uh so long as we're in a situation where the plo is still considered to be a legitimate force even
00:32:39.320
though they deny israel's right to exist um the corrosion that was instigated in the general
00:32:46.660
staff and the politicization that began in the general staff with the uh with the plo in the 1990s
00:32:54.220
has has been maintained throughout the uh three decades that uh have followed so that's also been
00:33:02.020
an aspect to it so what we've had particularly in the last 30 years is a winnowing of um people who are
00:33:11.720
considered to be uh further to the right uh less aligned with the pentagon um or with uh the israeli left
00:33:21.860
um out of the command structure of the idf as they get closer to the general staff level
00:33:29.380
and the sort of so uh affirmative action so you're saying the same process the same in the army yeah
00:33:36.600
the same the same process that went through here under and he even started with it started with
00:33:43.260
clinton and uh and bush didn't really thwart it and it really picked up on obama of the winnowing out
00:33:48.100
we have all this woke military now in fact the for the audience the national defense authorization
00:33:53.340
act should come back this week another firefight on the woke you're saying that happened in the
00:33:57.920
military too that's because it looks like ehud barak in this crowd and they're surprisingly left
00:34:03.720
wing are actually i think it looks to the outsiders they're leading essentially a military coup
00:34:09.220
right i know people saying well we're not going to fight so it's different to take
00:34:13.400
is that is that what's going on here is this a left-wing military coup in israel
00:34:17.840
well i would say that it's it's a political warfare campaign or a psychological warfare campaign
00:34:25.300
uh using leftists uh as a cudgel to try to convince the government that there's a threat here but i
00:34:35.960
don't think that it's real um i had on my show last week an air force uh f-16 pilot named shai kalach
00:34:43.080
and he has been exposing we had the first wave of this in march and now we're in the second one
00:34:49.200
uh in july uh he's been exposing that uh you know they they say they have a thousand one hundred
00:34:56.260
and forty two signatures of pilots that they're not going to say that they're not going to serve in
00:35:01.020
reserves so first of all that sounds like a lot but it's really um you know less than
00:35:07.120
it's maybe one percent of pilots and and aside from that uh the vast there's no names on it
00:35:14.240
the people who are leading this are all retired they haven't been in the cockpit most of them for
00:35:22.320
over 20 years um and they have uh maybe a couple of active duty reservists who still are in the
00:35:31.100
cockpits in our army and arm air force uh pilots remain active duty until they're 51 unless you know
00:35:38.460
they have another job that prevents them from flying and um so most of the very few that are
00:35:46.060
coming out and saying we're not going to serve are in their late 40s so you're talking about losing
00:35:51.700
maybe two years of service um and so this is not a real threat but they're actively colluding our
00:35:59.320
our media like the media in the united states is 100 percent mobilized on behalf of the left in
00:36:06.220
israel and so um everything that they write is immediately given credibility they're working
00:36:12.340
with the top pr firms in israel uh putting out these very scary letters that don't have any
00:36:18.600
signatories on them they don't have any official representatives of any of these units that are
00:36:23.560
supposedly refusing to serve so this is really and it's been exposed as such a political warfare
00:36:29.980
campaign and one last thing you mentioned i would barack the former prime minister the former idf chief
00:36:34.500
of staff and one of the late jeffrey epstein's closest associates he met with jeffrey epstein over 30
00:36:40.480
times after jeffrey epstein was first uh was first uh convicted of uh trafficking uh uh in minors
00:36:49.480
um and ed barack uh has he we uh last week a video of a uh of a conversation like of a zoom conversation
00:37:00.120
that he had with a group of these leaders of this so-called protest uh movement including the pilots
00:37:06.780
um was uh was found and it was from 2020 so three years before this government was formed three years
00:37:15.920
before the government announced its judicial reform package and everything that's happening today
00:37:21.220
including the slogans that they're that they're fighting for democracy their use
00:37:25.680
of reserve pilots retired reserve pilots retired special forces operatives etc all of the slogans
00:37:34.400
all of the modes of operation that we're seeing on the streets of israel today were laid out already
00:37:40.180
in this zoom conversation that they had in 2020 but at the time they were casting all of it
00:37:47.860
uh in terms of corona or covet 19 um and their opposition to lockdowns and everything else so
00:37:55.760
that they've been using they've this is their playbook that they've put together years in advance
00:38:01.400
that they rolled out after the formation of this government and one last thing that i exposed a couple of
00:38:07.900
of weeks ago also at jns.org jewish news syndicate where i serve as senior editor
00:38:13.880
um that barack actually started operating now organizing everything that we're seeing on the
00:38:22.580
streets of israel today even before the november 1st election so that this is not about judicial reform
00:38:29.240
it's about power okay okay yeah i i posted that on getter over the weekend i mean that's kind of my point
00:38:37.520
this is this has been something and this is and i i'm trying to make sure the american our american
00:38:44.240
audience here understands that this is coming at you in 2024 when you try to take on you call it the
00:38:50.960
permanent state when you try to take on the administrative state or the deep state they just
00:38:54.960
don't roll over and say oh this is terrific let's toss you the keys the barack thing was from several
00:39:00.280
years ago and what's so shocking about it it lays out almost in detail it was like it was made
00:39:05.160
over the weekend over the weekend and and and doesn't that reinforce the fact that it's at the
00:39:11.360
senior levels this is essentially a military coup by senior field officers and generals of the israeli
00:39:18.320
defense force no because the participants in that call were not uh currently serving in the general
00:39:26.000
staff having said that it's very clear that the general staff is at a minimum uncomfortable
00:39:33.240
with uh clamping down on what's happening um and i'll just give you an example sort of to show
00:39:40.280
the problem which is that uh tomir bard the commander of the air force uh has been almost silent uh when
00:39:49.640
everything is happening in in his house right and um the chief of general staff who was appointed by the
00:39:57.320
by the former government two weeks before the election which is supposed to be illegal in israel but
00:40:03.820
you know obviously the legal fraternity was 100 behind it has also been acting with great diffidence
00:40:09.900
in the face of what we're seeing today um but um but but just to be clear um last week a video was
00:40:19.860
produced by people on the right that was very effective because it showed what will happen
00:40:26.840
uh if the air force pilots go through with what they're doing that uh and and it showed sort of a
00:40:32.260
scene of uh of a future war it could happen tomorrow with hezbollah and you have forces on the ground
00:40:38.920
asking for air cover because they're being bombed and the pilot in the cockpit is asking do you support
00:40:44.920
judicial reform before he defends them right and so while for months and months and months this has
00:40:52.160
been going on uh with everybody calling to tear apart the idea for actually working to tear it apart
00:41:00.020
and deny israeli civilians israeli citizens citizens of israel our children uh protection um you have one
00:41:09.180
uh one sort of ad or um or video that comes out on the right fighting back against it and so whereas
00:41:17.280
the air force commander the chief of staff of the army etc have been very diffident and on the one hand
00:41:23.360
on the other hand at best with regards to the left they all came down like a load of bricks against the
00:41:29.700
right for producing this film well this is you're you're you're making my point you're making you're i think
00:41:35.840

passed i think 49 to 1 out of the house armed services committee by republicans 49 to 1 with
00:42:58.600
all this woke stuff what is happening in israel right now is a foreshadowing of what is going to
00:43:07.620
happen in the united states in the fall of 2024 and particularly after november of 2024 ladies and
00:43:15.320

00:45:27.820
country back one precinct at a time visit precinctstrategy.com now
00:45:33.360
is that mike on now welcome back welcome back um
00:45:46.000
even if you don't care about israel if you don't care about spain you don't care about anything
00:45:51.240
these directly all tie back to this fight against the administrative state in the deep state
00:45:56.520
that's what you're seeing right now in spain particularly the rise of vox and the combination
00:46:02.940
with this center-right and other right-wing parties being thwarted or trying to be thwarted
00:46:08.320
by these globalists who don't care and are actually exacerbating the invasion of the southern border
00:46:14.380
remember we had michael yan go over to both to spain and gibraltar and to morocco to report on this
00:46:20.500
by the way yan starting a whole trip on the starting the end of this week on the southern
00:46:27.040
border all 2 000 miles and we will be going along with him step by step on the show
00:46:31.500
israel is what frank gaffney's warned us about i mean frank this plays directly into the
00:46:37.700
ndaa which now has to have this conference with the senate and the house and this big fight and all the
00:46:42.920
wokeness that was in there when the house armed services committee controlled by republicans
00:46:48.120
voted out i think 49 to 1 or 59 to 1 then you had some of these men trying to get it out the senate's
00:46:53.660
going to put it all back in and particularly symbolically general brown from the air force
00:47:00.240
that is going to be the you think millie was bad and woke general brown is a whole new level
00:47:04.940
this gets back to exactly what's happened in israel this is the issue with the is with ehud barak
00:47:10.680
in the israeli military you're seeing a and i'll be adamant about this you're seeing a woke left-wing
00:47:17.980
military coup in israel right now and this is when we win in 2024 you're going to have the exact
00:47:25.960
same problem here in the good old united states of america frank gaffney
00:47:30.840
yeah unfortunately the playbook that we're watching in israel whether it's on the judicial reform
00:47:40.600
business or whether it's on this effort to take down the government the elected government by the
00:47:48.480
majority of the people of israel uh is i think very much the same playbook the marxists in our own
00:47:56.600
country are working from and one of the reasons steve why we've been focused like a laser and i've been
00:48:03.780
so appreciative of your help with this on getting the american people to communicate to their united
00:48:11.520
states senators right now that we want them to reject general brown by just going to reject general
00:48:22.120
brown.org is because if you put in charge of the military we're not talking about ehud barak who was a
00:48:30.200
former chief of staff of the army and a former prime minister of course he he's he's outside of
00:48:36.040
government we're talking about putting in charge of the united states military a man who is you know
00:48:44.320
i think an avowed cultural marxist i mean he's all about opportunity and so on but it's the woke agenda
00:48:54.040
that he has been championing it got him the gig so it wasn't a bad idea from his point of view but it's
00:49:01.760
going to be horrific for the united states military and not only that steve but the other piece of this
00:49:08.880
is according to the heritage foundation which as you know does this terrific annual analysis of
00:49:16.720
what they call the index of u.s military strength it's really the definitive unclassified assessment
00:49:25.900
of where we actually stand militarily this guy got to be the chief of staff of the air force
00:49:33.620
in 2020 in 2021 the first of the indexes since he took over as air force chief
00:49:43.500
heritage foundation rated the united states air force military strength as marginal
00:49:52.400
2022 two years into his term they registered it as weak and third hang on 2023 they say it's very
00:50:04.100
weak today i i got it but frank disqualifying something okay let me hang on stop he's going to
00:50:12.020
get voted overwhelmingly we're not going to stop that i if people want to send letters let's send
00:50:16.780
letters and and that's fine it's an objective fact that the air force is weaker heritage knows it
00:50:22.000
the military knows it it is the insidious part is brown is is illustrative of a deeper issue this is
00:50:30.960
what mattis and kelly all of these field grade officers they did exactly what they did in the
00:50:36.200
israeli military you had to be you had to get your stamp of approval by the administrative and deep
00:50:42.860
state as being woke and open and a globalist and not america first to even get promoted brown's just
00:50:50.120
he's a he's a symbol of a deeper problem and the problem is all of them look you just got a new chief
00:50:55.580
of naval operation a female i have nothing against females but just look at her record another woke
00:51:00.740
complete ideologue these people are idiot we're not going to stop brown brown's going to get
00:51:06.240
confirmed he's going to get confirmed overwhelmingly we can make put letters and put guys on notice if
00:51:11.820
you vote for them that's going to be on your card but the deeper issue is that to turn this situation
00:51:18.580
around particularly militarily we have a massive issue and problem that nobody wants to address and that
00:51:26.520
is just like the israeli military is doing a left-wing military coup in israel and that's what's backed
00:51:35.020
it ehud barak and all these former generals and the guys that they promoted their former aid to camps
00:51:40.600
that are in there that's exactly what you've got in the pentagon today frank gaffney
00:51:45.620
i agree with you on the latter point and i want to make a somewhat contrary argument on the former
00:51:54.420
you have guys who have been promoted during the first two of the now three terms
00:52:02.840
of the barack obama joe biden administration that's unquestionably what we're saddled with
00:52:09.120
